Can you freedom camp on beaches NZ?

Like many countries, New Zealand has rules as to where you can and cannot camp. You can't camp or drive your Mighty camper on the beach. However, there are many fantastic camping spots that are right by the beach. You can still wake up to the sound of surf while tucked up in your sand-free bed.
